Its night,

When there isn’t any light,

Nobody wants to fight,

Everyone seems to be right,

At night.

 

At nights you may turn the lights on or not,

But did you know that the weather’s never hot.

It’s dark,

The sky can’t see a little lark,

No one is there in the park,

No one cares if you are a shark,

When it’s dark.

 

At night most of us just want to go to sleep,

It’s good ‘cause it never lets you weep,

But then the kid has a dream that is bad,

And that makes his parents very sad.

 

I see a star,

It’s like it is above par,

But they tell me it is far, I say distance is no bar,

To get that star.

 

At night you may see something called the Moon,

You can’t see it in the morning or at noon,

Some say that the Moon glows bright great white,

But it only reflects the Sun’s bright light.

 

The sky is black,

From office your dad is back,

Someone has a midnight snack,

There are sites for some to hack.

 

Observe that at night the sun goes down,

As I said before, nobody will frown,

No one goes out and eats a Mac,

Builders are asleep so walls don’t crack!
